Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab) showcases her brand new offering ‘Find Me Finding You’, exploring a realm of new sounds within her adventurous sound palette. Around her compelling vocals, The Source Ensemble deliver synth lines that dive, lift and drift between unusual guitar textures, with the plucked sound of flat wound bass strings and the bottomless pulsing of bass pedals stepping out of the mix with an exquisite vibrancy.

Expressing an abiding and compassionate belief in a unity that permeates and intimately binds all things and beings, ‘Find Me Finding You’ is set for release on March 24th.

Support from Batsch.

Laetitia Sadier first achieved recognition as the lead singer of Stereolab, whose lounge-pop, bossa nova, film music, and Krautrock influences, combined with hypnotic vocals and leftist lyrics, made the band a distinctive presence throughout the ’90s and early ’00s.

After winning acclaim for albums such as 1993’s ‘Transient Random Noise Bursts with Announcements’, 1995’s Mars Audiac Quintet, and 1996’s ‘Emperor Tomato Ketchup’, Stereolab went on hiatus in 2009 and Sadier began work on her first solo album, ‘The Trip’, which was released in 2010, by ‘Silencio’ (2012) and Something Shines (2014).

Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble launches in 2017 with new release ‘Find Me Finding You’, which finds Sadier joining forces with long term collaborators Emmanuel Mario and Xavi Munoz. It also features keyboard and flutes parts played by David Thayer, as well as further keys, synths and electronics from Phil M FU and several intense guitar sequences from Mason le Long. The duet with Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor on “Love Captive” (not to mention Rob Mazurek’s distinctive coronet playing!) gives voice to an ideological cornerstone of ‘Find Me Finding You’ – that, should we be responsible enough to endeavour into a world of basic incomes and open relationships, we would make astonishing strides as a society.
